About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Gowing is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience based in Michigan. He holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and additional graduate study in Criminal Justice. He works with adults who want practical ways to handle stress, anxiety, anger, relationships, and other life challenges.
Jeffrey asks for commitment to regular sessions and active participation. He emphasizes consistent attendance as part of making progress. In sessions he focuses on how people process information and how thoughts shape reactions and feelings.
His approach combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas. That means he listens to what matters to the person first, and then helps them notice thought patterns that influence behavior and physical symptoms. Conversations move toward clear, usable changes rather than abstract theory.
Jeffrey has experience supporting people with LGBT concerns, gender dysphoria, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and sexuality-related issues. He also addresses trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, career stress, and aging and geriatric concerns.
He is a member of professional organizations including the American Counseling Association and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health. He has also served on the board of SAIGE, a division of the American Counseling Association focused on sexual and gender expansive identities.
People who prefer direct, thought-focused conversation about anger and related problems may find his style practical. He encourages a collaborative effort that targets how thoughts and perceptions shape everyday reactions.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely to what matters most to the person and follows their lead. This approach helps surface values, relationship concerns, and what the client wants to change in everyday life. It supports issues like intimacy concerns, sexuality questions, and relationship stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real situations. It includes practical exercises and small behavior experiments to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, and low mood. CBT is useful when someone wants concrete tools to manage reactions and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will help clients decide which mix of listening and skills-based practice fits their goals. That collaboration shapes session focus and the techniques used over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow brief check-ins when needed, and let people use written or in-session exercises that translate well to remote meetings. Licensed professionals often adapt client-centered conversation and CBT exercises to work effectively in remote appointments.
